Nitric oxide inhibits H2O2-induced transferrin receptor-dependent apoptosis in endothelial cells: Role of ubiquitin-proteasome pathway
We investigated here the mechanism of cytoprotection of nitric oxide ( • NO) in bovine aortic endothelial cells treated with H 2 O 2 . NONOates were used as • NO donors that released • NO slowly at a well defined rate in the extracellular and intracellular milieus. H 2 O 2 -mediated intracellular di...

Summary: | We investigated here the mechanism of cytoprotection of nitric oxide ( • NO) in bovine aortic endothelial cells treated with H 2 O 2 . NONOates were used as • NO donors that released • NO slowly at a well defined rate in the extracellular and intracellular milieus. H 2 O 2 -mediated intracellular dichlorofluorescein fluorescence and apoptosis were enhanced by the transferrin receptor (TfR)-mediated iron uptake. • NO inhibited the TfR-mediated iron uptake, dichlorofluorescein fluorescence, and apoptosis in H 2 O 2 -treated cells. • NO increased the proteasomal activity and degradation of nitrated TfR via ubiquitination. N ω -nitro- l -arginine methyl ester, a nonspecific inhibitor of endogenous • NO biosynthesis, decreased the trypsin-like activity of 26S proteasome. • NO, by activating proteolysis, mitigates TfR-dependent iron uptake, dichlorodihydrofluorescein oxidation, and apoptosis in H 2 O 2 -treated bovine aortic endothelial cells. The relevance of biological nitration on redox signaling is discussed. |
